Image Is this true and if so, then what could it mean?


I get that a filler earth adventure is a possibility but wouldn't you agree it seems unlikely? Another tweet (which most of us have already seen) has stated that the VA has exhausted himself voicing Yamcha so much yet filler B-plots during the main event of an arc aren't usually enough for that. It has to be something bigger.

That reminds me, Toshio also wrote a tweet about 4 weeks ago on how he wants to write about Yamcha and Chaozu's success in protecting the planet:
https://mobile.twitter.com/toshio916/st ... 1250229248

All of this could possibly be pointing to some kind of invasion, and we're going to see these two defend Earth. We'll probably have that along with Trunks, Goten and Marron protecting the island.

Considering Yamcha hasn't been in the last few episodes, whatever he recorded his voice for must be something happening within the next couple of months or so.

I still stand by my idea that Yamcha will join Goten & Trunks on 17 Island and they'll build a water park.

The Goten & Trunks part already came true, so we're halfway there.

I didn't see that tweet and it's not there anymore, so unless he deleted it, it's fake.

Anyway, i grew to really like the guy. He's not only obviously passionate about Dragon Ball, he also makes an effort to talk to fans in English, even some obnoxious people.
He also makes some interesting revelations, like crediting the 17/Piccolo reunion and Goku/Freeza scenes to Toriyama.

I can see Goten, Trunks and Yamcha getting a sub plot where something comes at Earth and they need to team up to fight it.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Even if it's not in the ToP ,I hope Yamcha gets to do something cool. Whether that be protecting the island from poachers or otherwise, though I want it to be a little more than that. I don't really understand why people want him to stay down. I certainly enjoy him more than I enjoy characters like Vegeta. (Though don't take that to mean I dislike Vegeta.)

Maybe it's a power he attained through some unexplained "secret training" like every other underpowered character in this arc so far.

This sounds interesting.

Yamcha was a bandit before DB power levels made him the most useless warrior in the show. If they do this right, he can be pulling off heists and stuff like Lupin III.

Indeed. I head from my uncle's cousin's brother in law's wife that Krillin got Yamcha a position on the Police force's Bomb Squad.

Now that it seems pretty clear Yamcha won't be a contestant in ToP I feel kind of bad for him. He kept waiting for the guys to come pick him up and it's just never going to happen. On one side I find it funny, on the other sad. I'm conflicted :think:
It's probably going to be something like a danger on Earth while everyone is away.

The other universes could send more "assassins" to earth to eliminate the planet in case our universe wins!
